Schrödinger's Mark is a situation that refers to a student who feels a lack of confidence, such that they are too ashamed to check their mark; choosing instead to live in a state of artificial emotional neutrality - thinking that their mark is both good and bad - as opposed to taking a gamble and having their next few days be either miserable or joyful.
This is similar to the quantum-physics theory known as Schrödinger's cat, whereby until the box is opened (or, in this case, when the student checks their mark); it is not known whether or not the cat is alive or dead - or, in this case, whether or not the mark is one which the student would be happy or unhappy with.
To conclude, by choosing not to check what mark was achieved, the student can live in the aforementioned state of ignorant emotional neutrality.

Student 1: "Shit man, I don't think I did too well on that test"
Student 2: "Damn, you gonna check your mark?"
Student 1: "Nah bro, no way. I don't want my day ruined. Even if I somehow did well, I don't want to take that chance"
Student 2: "Well shit, real Schrödinger's Mark situation, ain't it?"

Get the Love mark mug.Mark is portrayed as a charismatic and charming individual with a powerful influence over others. However, this facade is used to manipulate people for his own selfish gains. He lacks genuine concern for others, readily spreading rumors and undermining those around him, especially if they threaten his ego. Mark's lifestyle, including driving luxury cars and frequenting exclusive venues, is not about generosity but about feeding his ego through the admiration of others.
In relationships, Mark “love-bombs” initially overwhelms with affection but eventually becomes manipulative, particularly targeting wealthy, independent women. His kindness is conditional, only extended when it benefits him, and he is prone to making false promises to exploit others to the fullest.
Mark's image is a carefully constructed illusion. Mark usually has a drug addiction, specifically to cocaine, because buying anything other than that designer drug is beneath him.
Avoid Mark, as prolonged interaction leads to bitterness and resentment, with any confrontation being futile against someone who only values their own opinions and desires.

“Gosh I’m falling so hard for Mark! He takes me to the best places and everyone knows him there!”
“Mark will sell you the bread he stole out of your mouth. He’ll charge you 3 times the price and you’ll leave thanking him for making that sacrifice for you.”

Get the Mark mug.Mark is a person with a magnetic personality, using his charm and influence for selfish manipulation. He's narcissistic and disloyal, willing to betray trust and spread rumors for his own benefit. His actions are driven by ego; he thrives on admiration and uses his wealth—often beyond his means—to maintain an image of success. Relationships with Mark are cautioned against, especially for strong, independent women, as he finds pleasure in deceiving them. He's only kind when it serves him, otherwise exploiting others through false promises. Valuing a man like Mark for his image alone is a mistake, as his persona is an illusion. Mark's drug addiction, particularly to cocaine, is a part of his attempt to uphold an image of affluence.
Steer clear of Mark to avoid emotional turmoil and resentment, as he is self-centered and dismissive of others' feelings.
